A Scottish Ceilidh is basically a party... which is what a wedding reception is. It is generally accepted that a ceilidh includes food, fellowship, music, and dancing.

My wonderful daughter and my brother learned many Scottish folk dances... a few were included at the ceilidh, but we soon realized space was an issue and the dancing dwindled... but the dances were fun to learn!

We had music, Scottish folk music, and the ever present bagpipe music from the field at McRae Meadow as the various pipe and drum bands marched by the Clan Lindsay tent throughout the evening.

Master bagpiper, Jon Shell, did an amazing job of piping to, from, and during the wedding ceremony.

Scotland

I began my love affair with the Scottish/Celtic culture with Braveheart I suppose... then I read Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and fell madly in love with Claire and Jamie... Hugh and I attended the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games in 2009 and joined his family's clan... Lindsay... Scotland and all things Scottish became an obsession
